Attitudes About Electronic Monitoring Survey

The Attitudes about Electronic Monitoring Survey measures the degree to which case workers, correctional staff, legal professionals and other employees in the criminal justice system view the deterrent effectiveness of electronic monitoring, its ethical suitability, and its ability to adequately punish or sanction offenders for the crimes they have committed. It is composed of 13 questions and takes about 5 minutes to complete.
